Overview:

Pepcid
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Famotidine, a histamine H2-receptor antagonist, is used to treat gastrointestinal disorders such as gastric or duodenal ulcer, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and pathological hypersecretory conditions. Famotidine inhibits many of the isoenzymes of the hepatic CYP450 enzyme system. Other actions of Famotidine include an increase in gastric bacterial flora such as nitrate-reducing organisms. For treatment of Acid-reflux disorders (GERD – gastroesophageal reflux disease); Peptic Ulcer Disease

Mechanism Of Action:
Famotidine binds to an H2-receptor located on the basolateral membrane of the parietal cell, blocking histamine effects. This competitive inhibition results in reduced basal and nocturnal gastric acid secretion and a reduction in gastric volume, acidity, and amount of gastric acid released in response to stimuli including food, caffeine, insulin, betazole, or pentagastrin.
